A strip of track in the Swiss Jura carries 48 solar panels laid flat between the rails and thousands of trains have run over them, but the array covers only 330 feet of a national network
17+ hour, 32+ min ago (812+ words) A single track railway in the western Swiss mountains, pasture on both sides, a station a short walk away. Between the rails, where there is normally gravel and nothing else, a run of dark blue panels lies flat. They sit…...
SunPower has raised $26.2 million in fresh capital to give its U.S. solar business more room to grow
22+ hour, 26+ min ago (530+ words) SunPower is headquartered in San Jose, California, which is the leading solar energy-producing state in the U.S. SunPower was founded in 1985 by Richard Swanson, an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. TotalEnergies purchased a controlling interest in the company in 2011 before…...
We've Built the Clean Energy Generation. But Can We Deliver It?
23+ hour, 1+ min ago (602+ words) The renewable energy industry spent two decades making clean power cost-competitive with fossil fuels on its own economic merits. However, the fight nobody fully budgeted for is getting electrons from the farm to the outlet, and it’s becoming the industry’s…...
Solar panels are eating America's farmland, but experts say urban sprawl causes far more permanent damage while solar actually offers struggling farmers a rare financial lifeline through agrivoltaics, local tax revenue, and land that can farm again in 40 years
1+ day, 17+ hour ago (791+ words) Somewhere in West Texas, 3,000 sheep are grazing beneath rows of solar panels across 8,000 acres—and their keeper, Chad Raines, calls it the thing that finally saved his farm after more than a decade of losses. It’s a scene that looks…...
A solar cell bent 5,000 times around a curve tighter than a thumb kept 91 percent of what it started with, while the flexible tandem inside it reached 33.6 percent certified efficiency on a silicon layer thin enough to roll
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (829+ words) The jig takes both ends of the strip, folds it toward itself, holds it, and lets go. Then it does it again. It ran that way for days, and the film in the clamps looks like nothing at all. Not…...
Renewables can't scale fast enough to replace fossil fuels without an energy shortfall, and a new open-source model built by engineering graduates shows the gap could last decades and reshape how the world plans its entire energy future
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (437+ words) The global energy debate frequently collapses into two opposing visions: fossil fuels burning unchecked until industrial systems fracture, or a smooth, rapid handoff to renewable abundance. Yet civil engineers know that complex physical infrastructure rarely obeys political optimism or catastrophic…...
Google, MN8 and Eos are lining up an 86 MW solar project in West Virginia with 380 MWh of storage to keep the power working after the sun goes down
5+ day, 16+ hour ago (372+ words) Google is a worldwide entity that is primarily focused on organizing the world’s information and making it accessible and helpful. For instance, the entity is able to do so through products and platforms like Search, Maps, Gmail, Chrome, and others....
American engineers develop solar panels that turn seawater into drinking water by "sweating" salts away with laser-etched grooves, zero chemical waste, and a coffee-ring trick that keeps the surface permanently clean
5+ day, 23+ hour ago (605+ words) Across the globe, 2.2 billion people lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Desalination plants offer a crucial lifeline, yet these massive facilities harbor a destructive secret: every day, they pump billions of gallons of toxic liquid brine back into the…...
Solar panels and crops can share the same land and a new model shows both come out ahead by keeping plants cooler, saving water, and boosting energy output
1+ week, 15+ hour ago (517+ words) Solar panels and crops can share land — a new model shows both come out ahead Solar farms are expanding fast — and so is the pressure on agricultural land. The two needs have long seemed to be in direct competition. Agrivoltaics,…...
Avantus secures $300 million in tax equity financing for the Aratina 2 solar-and-storage project in California
1+ week, 2+ day ago (396+ words) The solar energy industry is oversaturated with an excessive number of companies that are all in competition to become the sole pioneers within the sector. Among those entities is Avantus, a company that has made a name for itself in…...
